Soldering Pancake Plugs

Описание: ***Thanks for all the positive feedback! FWIW, this tutorial is more for the novice-to-intermediate user, so if you're brand new to soldering or putting components together, you might want to snag a buddy who's good at it to walk you through it. If you have any questions or additional feedback, please feel free to comment below and I'll respond. Thanks! -ThePauloman80

(Regarding cable testers, the Behringer is the one I had on hand and really seemed to be the best bang-for-your-buck option. However, you can use pretty much any cable tester as long as it has the ¼" jacks on the top so the pancake ends are positioned for you to easily work on them. Here's an assortment of testers at Amazon.com: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_ss_... )
